Y-12 National Security Complex

The Y-12 National Security Complex plays an important role in U.S. national security and is a one-of-a-kind facility in the National Nuclear Security Administration’s nuclear Weapons Complex.

Y-12 was originally responsible for separating uranium-235 from natural uranium by the electromagnetic process. Today, the site maintains a uranium and lithium technology base for the U.S. and focuses on defense-related R&D and nuclear nonproliferation.
